| - The MIT Crime Club was a Massachusetts Institute of Technology student group known for its attempts to develop technological methods of addressing crime problems and for its unauthorized investigation of a murder in a Harvard dorm. It was established in 2005 to undertake campus-safety projects and raise awareness of crimes in the MIT area. The group rebroadcast police radio transmissions online, assembled police-log compilations, and constructed crime maps. In 2009 the club hired two private detectives to investigate the murder of a drug dealer in a Harvard residence hall. As the private detectives were unjustly arrested and prosecuted; the case was dismissed before trial. The club later contributed to a Snapped: Killer Couples television episode about the murder. (en)
